INTERIOR LIGHTING
Lighting for the interior of the airplane consists of cabin overhead lights,
instrument panel lights and backlit switch panels and backlit circuit breaker
panels. The interior lights are controlled by switches located on the right
switch panel.
Cabin Overhead Lights
Cabin overhead lighting consists of 4 main cabin lights and two cockpit
reading lights. The cabin overhead lights are controlled by a three position
(ON-NORM-OFF) switch labeled CABIN. In addition to the cockpit switch,
a rocker switch is provided on the interior of the forward door post of the aft
passenger/cargo door. The rocker switch has two positions; pressing up
on the switch will turn on the cabin lights. When the cabin lights have been
turned on using the cargo door rocker switch, they will automatically turn off
after 15 minutes of operation, when the engine is started, when the cargo
door is closed, or when the bottom portion of the rocker switch (OFF) is
pressed. When the CABIN light switch is placed in the NORM position, the
optional cabin overhead reading lights may be turned on at each individual
reading light throughout the cabin.
NOTE: On aircraft equipped with No Smoking/Fasten Seatbelt lights, the
lights will be illuminated any time the battery master switch is placed in the
on position.
Instrument Panel Lighting
The instrument panel light consists of an LED-type rope light mounted
on the lower surface of the glare shield and is controlled by a variable
(potentiometer) switch labeled INSTRUMENT PANEL. The instrument panel
light switch also controls the backlighting for the G1000 softkeys, autopilot
and standby ight instruments.
Switch/Circuit Breaker Panel Lights
The circuit breaker panel and switch panels are backlit to provide the
desired panel lighting while operating at night or in low light conditions. The
circuit breaker panel and switch panel lighting are controlled by a variable
(potentiometer) switch labeled SWITCH/CB PANEL.
Control Pedestal Light
A control pedestal light is installed in the crew overhead panel to illuminate the
control pedestal. The light is controlled by a dimmer knob on the overhead
panel just aft of the light.
